En Cártamo, mi pueblo natal, pasó algo en el verano de 1952 que cambiaría mi miserable vida para siempre. José, mi padre, y el resto de mi familia habíamos vivido tranquilamente ahí hasta que el martes 12 de agosto a las 10 de la mañana, sin previo aviso, llegó mi tío Facundo. Mi papá decía que era la oveja negra de la familia y mi tía Fermina que había envenenado a su esposa y escapado con todo su dinero. Sin embargo, a todos nos conquistó con su carisma y simpatía, y gracias a sus consejos por primera vez conocimos la felicidad. Pero, como todos sabemos, cuando uno comienza a sentirse un poco alegrote se empiezan a complicar las cosas incomprensiblemente. La única solución era regresar a la vida de antes, pero ¿cómo decirle al Tío Facundo?

In Cártamo, where I was born, something happened during the summer of 1952 that pretty much shattered my hopes of ever having a normal life. José, my father, and the rest of my family had lived quietly there until that tuesday, August 12th at 10 am when without any warnings Uncle Facundo showed up. My father always told us he was the black sheep of the family and Aunt Fermina claimed that he had poisoned his wife and kept all her money. Nevertheless, as soon as he arrived we were all charmed by his charisma and it was due to his advice that we got to feel true happiness for the first time in our lives. But just as soon as someone starts enjoying himself a little, things always end up getting inexplicably out of control, don´t they?. Our only way out was to go back to our old life, but how could we tell Uncle Facundo?
